In short: Brilliant race. Will definitely do it again.In full: Great scenery, challenging hills, good weather, well organised (apart from some confusion at the start over where to gather), lots of chocolate, the best t shirt i have ever been given, lots of club runners but i felt welcome.Date of review: November 9, 2011

In short: Fabulous race, challenging hills & great organisationIn full: Very well organised - plenty of car parking, toilets, the number collection was very quick and lots of encouraging marshalls on route. Great course mainly on road but the first and last part on stony, wooded area. The finish in the courtyard of Ripley Castle is fantastic with the final runup surrounded by cheering spectators. The chocolate filled goody bag, water and superb technical t-shirt were also well received. Well done to Nidd Valley Road Runners for the organisation.Date of review: November 7, 2011

In short: Lovely Sunday morning race in the North Yorkshire countrysideIn full: My third Guy Fawkes race and an enjoyable experience as always. The heavy rain on Saturday made the first and last miles a bit slippy in places, so not quite as fast a time as last year, but that didn't detract from what is an excellent run in the countryside. Three uphills but the downhills seem to feature more, making for what is a very fast course in places (I've set my 1st and 2nd best 10 mile times here). Camaraderie is excellent, even towards the front of the field and the goody bag is always generous. No wonder it sold out in advance again this year. Looking forward to 2012, but get entries in early.Date of review: November 7, 2011

In full: A great scenic rural run starting & ending at Ripley Castle. Really well organised, with plenty of encouragement from the friendly marshals, plus a generous goodybag + great technical T-shirt. Superb weather was an added bonus. A big thankyou to the organisers and look forward to next year. Date of review: November 6, 2011

In short: Great weather, great run.In full: A very well run event. The weather was glorious for the time of year and the race certainly had it's challenges; the finish area was perfect.As the previous contributor said, the bars of chocolate and the tech t-shirt made it great value also. It was my first Guy Fakes run and hopefully will not be my last. Congratulations to all the people who put it together- you did a great job.Date of review: November 6, 2011
